Under 20 minutes remaining
You get the feeling that a goal for either team in this one could be enough to secure all three points. Time, though, is running out to grab it.

Amiri effort saved
Kübler gets a foot on Amiri's shot, and it almost wrong-foots Atubolu. However, he does well to recover and push behind for a corner that ultimately comes to nothing.

Freiburg looking more likely
Schuster's men are more dangerous at the moment. Still, Zentner has not been worked during this second period.

Caci denied
Atubolu gets down well to hold Caci's first-time effort.

Huge stop!
The best chance of the match so far by some distance, as Zentner puts out a leg and stops Adamu from finding the bottom corner when one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Grifo shot saved
A first effort for either goalkeeper to deal with, as Zentner holds the Italian's strike from distance.

Still no chances for either side thus far, with neither willing to concede an inch.
